Data privacy is top of mind for users everywhere. Cloud storage and backup vendor SpiderOak plans to address privacy concerns with Crypton, an open-source Web app dev platform that crunches data in a browser-based client instead of the cloud.

Krikken remains optimistic about its prospects as a useful open source tool. "The creation of a platform like this is good. It drives privacy forward," he concludes. "Projects like Crypton are definitely helpful for developers and anyone concerned about privacy."
